There are drawbacks to using snapshots. Typically if you want to resize the 
disk or convert it from dynamic to static or vis Versa, you have to merge the 
snapshots and I have had issues not being able to merge snapshots locking me 
into the current state of the drive. Also, if you have virtualized a domain 
controller and you have a replica set up, you cannot revert to a snapshot as 
you will induce what is called a usn rollback and your replication will cease. 
If not corrected within the 90 day tombstone date you will probably not be able 
to recover. Ask me how I know.
